Wonder Boys movie - Not Dark Yet lyrics

rate me

Song by Bob Dylan<br /><br>

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day<br>

It's too hot to sleep time is running away<br>

Feel like my soul has turned into steel<br>

I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal <br>

There's not even room enough to be anywhere<br>

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there<br>

<br>

Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain<br>

Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain<br>

She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind<br>

She put down in writing what was in her mind<br>

I just don't see why I should even care<br>

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there<br>

<br>

Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree<br>

I've followed the river and I got to the sea<br>

I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies<br>

I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes<br>

Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear<br>

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there<br>

<br>

I was born here and I'll die here against my will<br>

I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still<br>

Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb<br>

I can't even remember what it was <br>

I came here to get away from<br>

Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer<br>

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.<br>

<br>
